Entered at the poatoflice In Decatur, Indiana, as aecond-clsaa matter. It is easy to criticiae and to find fault. We do not believe that Decatur is the worst city in the world. In fact we have always clung to the Idea that it is the best city and located in the best county in the best ste» e. Our officials may make mistakes, but we believe they try to do their best and at least do some things that deserve credit instead of criticism.

Senator Thornton of New Albany will make a fight to reduce the salaries of the officials in Marion county. Figures compiled by him show that the treasurer of that county has been receiving more than $25,000 net pe. year, admitted to be higher than necf essary to secur<‘ the services of a first-class man. Other officials are paid in proportion and Senator Thornton will receive commendation if he wins his fight. Fred Thomas, a seventeen-year-old boy, has saved Posey county, Indiana, from further ridicule. For many years Posey county has been used as indicative of the “rube" center of th? world, and now along comes this lad who wins the state championship for corn raising. That settles it, for a county like Posey, with its hundreds of thousands of acres of land that will raise the best corn in the world, and that's what an Indiana championship amounts to, is a paradise and nothing else. The comedians will have to change their tune.

Evangelist Lyons made the sensational statement a night or two ago that Fort Wayne is controlled by a “boss,' 'and that its council is a “Tammany.” As a result the members of the council and their friends are demanding proof, and have refused to attend the meetings though they had arranged to do so in a body. We do not know much about the politics of that city but it is a well known fact that the city baa been free to a large extent from the charges of graft that usually come to a hustling and growing city like Fort Wayne. If you are opposed to the increase in passenger rates by the railroads of Indiana you ought to say so now. If you are in favor of it you ought also

to say so. In either case you ought to say why. The information, we are sure, would be gladly received by the men who will be held responsible for the law. if it Is changed. The railroads have been punished severely, as have other big corporations during the past few years. The rates have been reduced and the exftenses in creased. Os these facts there are nc doubts. Most of their trouble, we be lieve, was brought about by them selves. On the other hand the peopl wish to be fair and they usually are and if the railroads can show as the} say they can that in thia state alon< last year the eighteen railroads los $12,00(1,000 on their passenger service something will have to be done to co rect it. Whatever argument is madagainst it, this fact will remain tha’ no state can be very prosperous if th< railroads lose that n.i. h ..ion • in. department. Think it over and ex press yourself.

A new county attendance officer, tJ succeed the late Caleb Andrews, whose death occurred suddenly this week, will be elected some time next week, the time to be decided later.

The law provides that the education boa”<l shall elect an attendance officer the first Monday in May, he to take his office the following August, for one year. Mr. Andrews’ year would not expire until next August. No provision is made in the law for a successor in case of death, but the opinion oi County Attorney Henry Heller, whirl was sought, is that the successor 1elected by the board the same as thoriginal is appointed, and he advised a meeting of the education board to be called for this purpose. In this county the attendance officer alsc serves as probation officer, and as the county commissioners also authorized Mr. Andrews to serve as a sort o' overseer of poor, he really had three offices in one. There are more than a half-dozen applicants for the office. The November term of court closed today and a two weeks’ vacation will follow. Tiie February term will open Monday, February first.
